Chapter 143: The Fundamental Problem

In the office, Wang Wen lowered his head, and the tip of the pen in his hand made a 'whoosh' sound on the notebook. Occasionally, he would twist his neck a few times to relieve his cervical spine, and take a glimpse of Fang Xiuli, a provincial Taiwan reporter sitting opposite reading a book.

Forty minutes had passed, and the other party was still sitting there reading a book, and she didn't know what story was written in the book, so attractive that she would forget the purpose of staying tonight.

Wang Wenwen originally wanted to take this opportunity to delay time and let the other party retreat, which was a very good way to reject people. But seeing that the other party was sitting more steadily than him, Wang Wen knew that it was definitely impossible to make the other party retreat. The woman's difficulty and persistence exceeded his imagination, and it was really a bit of a stalking, and he would not give up until he reached his goal.

This kind of professionalism and the spirit of seeking the truth of the news are very commendable. Wang Wen often sees news reports from reporters who go deep into the tiger's den despite the danger. Being stalked, threatened, sticked, etc., etc. I used to think that this was a reporter beautifying a reporter, but now it seems that it is not false at all.

It's just that when this spirit lands on him, he can't admire, let alone praise.

Wang Wen wrote for a few more minutes, and finally finished writing the several medical records in his hand. He doesn't expect the other party to leave now, but hopes that Miao Lili and the others can do what they need to do during this time, and don't show their feet.

"Smack~!"

Wang Wen clipped the medical records and put them on the table beside him.

After hearing the voice, Fang Xiuli slowly raised her head, she didn't speak this time, but looked at Wang Wen inquiringly, as if asking: Is the work done?

Fang Xiuli's eyes are very sharp, so she also expresses the meaning in her heart very accurately, so that as soon as Wang Wen touches her eyes, she knows what she wants to say.

Wang Wen looked at the time, it was half past eight, this time was not too early in the hospital, and many patients had already gone to sleep. After thinking about it, Wang Wen couldn't find a reason to delay any longer, so he nodded at the other party and said, "I'm just going to check the room, come with me!" ”

"Good!"

Hearing Wang Wen's words, Fang Xiuli immediately said simply, then closed the book and put it back in her bag.

Wang Wen walked out of the office with the medical record book, and Fang Xiuli followed behind him. Maybe it was not early, there were not many people in the corridor, only a patient's family member standing outside a ward, holding a mobile phone and making a whisper.

Wang Wen did not go to the nearest ward, but went around the nurse's duty room, and when he saw Miao Lili standing outside smiling at him, Wang Wen's heart finally had a bottom, and he quietly turned a corner and came to a ward.

"At this time, most of the patients are already resting, so don't disturb them when you see a resting patient. If the patient is still awake, you can interview, but try to keep the sound low so as not to disturb the rest of the patient. Do you understand? Wang Wen turned around and said to Fang Xiuli behind him.

"Understood!" Fang Xiuli nodded.

Wang Wen pushed the door and walked in, there were four beds in the ward, two of which were already resting, and two were accompanied by family members, whispering this.

After all, cardiac surgery is treated by surgery, not all by drugs like internal medicine. So in the morning, after the meeting, the hands and feet that I had done in the past on the medicine had basically been reined in, and all the procedures were followed, no medication was added, and no checklists were opened indiscriminately.

Fang Xiuli had already made an unannounced visit to the ward of the Department of Cardiac Surgery, but she only visited one of the wards unannounced before being discovered by Wang Wen. So now when she entered the ward again, Fang Xiuli's eyes immediately focused on the patient who had not rested. After glancing at Wang Wen, he walked over to the patient.

"Hello, I'm sorry to break your rest!" Fang Xiuli walked up to one of the patients and their family members and said politely, "I'm a reporter from the provincial TV station, can I talk to you about a few questions?" "It is not possible to make an unannounced visit, you can only show your identity and visit openly.

"A reporter from the provincial TV station?" The patient and family members were stunned and asked, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

"Actually, that's true. In order to reduce the medical burden on the people, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced last night that it would reduce the prices of many drugs. I'd like to talk about what do you guys think about this drug price cut? Fang Xiuli asked, and at the same time, she didn't know when she had an extra voice recorder in her hand.

"The price reduction of drugs is of course a good thing for our people!" After hearing Fang Xiuli's words, the patient's family said, "It's just that in the past few years, it has dropped more than a dozen times, but I don't feel it any time, it's like fooling people!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman next to him reached out and gently pushed the person.

The man looked back at the woman behind him unhappily and said, "What are you pushing me for, am I not right?" The woman behind her smiled awkwardly, and then walked out of the room with a thermos.

"Then tell me, why don't you feel it?" Fang Xiuli asked again, "For example, the medicine that this old gentleman used today, is there any price reduction medicine?" ”

"That's a fall!" The man said.

"Yes, since it's fallen, why do you still say that you don't feel it?" Fang Xiuli said with a smile.

"I don't know. I'll give you an analogy. The man looked at Fang Xiuli and said, "In the past, the medicine my father took was forty yuan a bottle, but now the medicine he takes is eighty yuan a bottle, and the effect is the same!" Did you say it fell? ”

"Then why don't you use a bottle of medicine for forty dollars?"

"I want to buy it too, but the doctor won't prescribe it, and I can't buy it outside!"

When Fang Xiuli heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, she looked at Wang Wen on the side, and then said to the patient's family, "The Ministry of Health has promised that after the price of the medicine is reduced, the previous dosage will be guaranteed!" ”

"Guaranteed? What is the guarantee? If he can't guarantee it, can the people sue them? Their words followed the wind for a while, and every time it blew for a while, it was gone. The man said, "I do know of a few medicines that have been lowered in price before, and are still available." But the effect is much worse than before. Previously twice a day, three tablets at a time. Now six tablets three times a day. I can only change to a more expensive medicine with good effect! ”

What the man said made Fang Xiuli not know what to ask for a while, and after looking at Wang Wen, who was pretending to look at the medical record book, Fang Xiuli thought for a while and asked, "Doctor Wang, the words of the patient's family are worth our deep thought." Can you explain why this is happening? ”

Wang Wen had long known that Fang Xiuli would definitely embarrass him, so he glanced up at the other party, and then looked down at the medical record book again.

"How do I know that the drug is not produced by me, you should ask the pharmaceutical company this question, they don't produce it, how can we open it? You can only change the dressing! ”

"Isn't there a problem with your hospital and doctors? For example, if your hospital raises the price of medicines, and your doctors take kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies? Fang Xiuli didn't intend to let Wang Wen go so easily, and asked sarcastically.

Hearing this question, Wang Wen's heart suddenly became unwilling, isn't this a basin?

"Reporter Fang, I don't think you have reported on the medical industry before. And even if there were, you certainly haven't studied it carefully. ”

Fang Xiuli was unhappy when she heard it, didn't she obviously say that she was a layman? Although she was temporarily transferred to conduct this interview and did not have an in-depth understanding of the industry, she still read the relevant materials. Moreover, she has also been to the hospital. At least that's what she thinks as a patient!

"Why do you say that?" Fang Xiuli looked at the other party unconvinced and asked.

"Because of the question you asked, too layman!" Wang Wen said, "The price of medicine is not set by the hospital, but by the price department. In addition, if you have not seen the rebate of the doctor in the central hospital, then do not talk about it in our central hospital, otherwise it will affect the good relationship between the doctors and patients in our hospital. And......! ”

"And what?" Fang Xiuli asked.

"And I feel that the doctor-patient relationship is so poor now, and you journalists also have an inescapable responsibility. Because you sow discord and fuel the flames, often making things go in unpredictable directions! Wang Wen said.

"What does it mean to sow discord? What does it mean to add fuel to the fire? My job as a journalist is to get to the bottom of the matter! Fang Xiuli said solemnly, this is about her professional innocence.

"Really? Then I can only tell you that for the problem of drug prices, if you come to visit below, then you are looking in the wrong direction from the beginning! Wang Wen said with a sneer.

"Looks like you know? Can you show me the way? Fang Xiuli also asked with a sneer.

Wang Wen didn't speak, just stretched out his finger and pointed upward.

After Fang Xiuli saw it, she looked up at the roof, and then looked at Wang Wen in puzzlement.

Wang Wen immediately showed a helpless expression and said, "Reporter Fangda, can you please read more information before interviewing in the future?" You don't even understand the most basic things, what are you going to interview? ”

Fang Xiuli's face was flushed by Wang Wen's words, and she looked at the curious patients and their families beside her, and felt even more dull.

"Now that you understand, then you say!" Fang Xiuli said unconvinced.

"I dare to say, I'm afraid you didn't repay!" Wang Wen said, "The problem of high drug prices is not the problem of hospitals and doctors, but the problem of the above. Take the kinase embolization capsule for the treatment of blood clots, and its cost is only ten yuan. The ceiling price in the price department is fifty dollars. There is also this injection, the supply price of the pharmaceutical factory to the distributor is a few yuan, but the retail price given to it by the price department is destined to be eighty! It is true that drugs have a lot of profits, but it is definitely not hospitals and doctors who get huge profits. In the process of leaving the factory, passing through the intermediate links, and finally going to the hospital, the price of some drugs can be increased to more than ten times, or even dozens of times. Why is that? Because those distributors in the upper and middle reaches of the pharmaceutical industry, as well as those regulators who are driven by profits, are the culprits. This is a public matter for the entire pharmaceutical industry. Why is it that the price has been repeatedly reduced, but the people have not been able to get benefits, and they feel that the price of medicine is getting more and more expensive? Because just lowering the price of drugs is not the most fundamental solution. Drug prices will be reduced, profits will be reduced, and the benefits of each link will be reduced, and drugs will gradually withdraw from the market. How to solve the flow link of drugs in the process from manufacturers to hospitals is the most fundamental problem. But as it stands, it is simply impossible to solve this problem. As for why it is impossible, I believe that Fang Da reporter should know it in his heart. The thief shouted the trick of catching the thief, I wanted to vomit when I watched it! ”
